Without fosters, Rhode Home couldn’t function. Help us find homes for our rescues!
We adopted our wonderful puppy Molly last week from this organization. I can't say enough good things about them! We had been trying to adopt for awhile but we couldn't find the right dog in local shelters and many of the rescue organizations either felt like puppy mills in disguise or were horribly disorganized or rude. Not these guys! They are thorough and the wonderful volunteers do everything they can to make sure the dogs go to good homes but unlike other rescues we communicated with did not pressure us into adopting right away or adopting a particular dog and we didnt feel judged at all. I love how once you are approved, you are able to look for the right dog for 6 months instead of committing to a dog you've never met and being told you can only meet them if you bring them home that day. They didn't pressure us at all and to be honest that made all the difference. We fell in love with Molly and her foster was wonderful. The woman who conducted our interview and home inspection was really great too and we owe it to her we lucked out with Molly. They were honest with us and told us up front that she knew zero commands, was not housebroken, hated her crate, and had never been on a leash before. We were glad they allowed us to make an informed decision and she has already learned sit and stay and had no accidents yesterday! She is also doing so much better in her crate and on a leash. Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to add this wonderful dog to our family and to anyone who is looking for a dog or puppy I can't recommend this organization enough!
I highly recommend Rhode Home Rescue for adopting an animal. It was a very pleasant experience adopting from this organization. The volunteers where amazing. I also love that these animal do not sit in a shelter, what I saw at our local animal shelter was abuse. The animals may go outside 8 hours a week if they have a volunteer to take them out. It’s not guaranteed they even go outside. They sit in what I call a jail cell while it takes months for them to make a decision on who they allow to adopt them. Shelters like our local one needs to take some training from Rhode Home Rescue instead of their terrible egotistical practices. Save yourself time and energy and just apply with Rhode Home Rescue.
We went to the adoption event and filled out the application on the way there. We were approved for the dog we wanted, signed some paperwork and took him home that day! We have two young children and were trying to find a shelter that would adopt a small dog to us, and weren’t having much luck even though our kids are very dog savvy. RHR met our kids, let us hold the dog, did not pressure us one way or the other, and despite there being 20 or so dogs there and a bunch of families, they kept it organized, fluid and quick. We are thrilled with our new family member. You guys, these people VOLUNTEER to do this... to meet trucks of dogs at all hours of the night to take them home to foster. Most of the time multiple dogs to one foster, dogs that haven’t had it very easy and are scared and dirty and who most likely wouldn’t have lived through the shelter they were pulled from. This is grueling, heart wrenching, valuable work. Please adopt. Validate this work and give these poor things a warm bed and a full bowl of food.
